    A certain quantity of heat energy is given to a diatomic ideal gas which expands at constant pressure. The fraction of the heat energy that is converted into work is

    A)  2/3                                       

    B)  2/7

    C)  1/5                                       

    D)  1/7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     According to first law of thermodynamics \[\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{C}_{V}}\Delta T={{C}_{P}}\Delta T+W\] Or           \[W=({{C}_{P}}-{{C}_{V}})\Delta T\]                 \[=\left( \frac{7}{2}-\frac{5}{2} \right)\Delta T\] Now,     \[\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{\left( \frac{7}{2}-\frac{5}{2} \right)\Delta T}{\frac{7}{2}\Delta T}\]                 \[=\frac{2}{7}\]
